And then I should be ready to roll with my project.. I have some fine
tuning of the looks to do after, but funtionality first!
This is probably a rails question.. but I''m not sure where to sign up
for the rails questions email group? (I guess I turned this into a 2
question email).
I''ll ask here and then if someone will send me the url of where I go
to sign up for the rails type questions, that''d be great!
now let''s see if i can explain it:
(once again using the recipe example provided)
by default after you edit a category name, it "redirects" to a showing
of the new category name (by id) eg: /category/show/6
because I''ve feverishly edited the show.rhtml (for a different
purpose) I get nasty errors after updating the category name.
What is the easiest way to change that so it redirects back to say
/category/list ?
i know that:
def show
redirect_to :action => ''list''
end
will work, but that will kill my current "show" (for category
controller):
@categories = Category.find_all
@recipes = Recipe.find_all
@c = @params[''c'']
@r = @params[''r'']
@recipe = Recipe.find(@params["r"])
is there some way to accomplish this with an if/else statement?
I''ve googled high and low.. I can''t seem to find much
documentation on
controller syntax, so it''s easily errored (anyone have a good site for
this? ..please?)
my attempts has lead me to such:
def show
if
redirect_to :action => ''list''
else
@categories = Category.find_all
@recipes = Recipe.find_all
@c = @params[''c'']
@r = @params[''r'']
@recipe = Recipe.find(@params["r"])
end
end
I just don''t know what to put after the if to say if (url) "
/category/show/id# " then redirect_to :action =>
''list''
else just pass the params.
If anyone can help much appreciated..
(hope that made sense)
If I can get it to work I''m willing to pass on my recipe 2.0, if you
will, to anyone who cares to take a peek!
Thanks again!
Ryan

What you need to do is to actually generate the scaffold code. That way it will phsyically exist in files that you can edit and modify. Make a backup of your files before you do this because generating the scaffold code will overwrite stuff. Then open a command window, move to the cook directory, and run the command: ruby script\generate scaffold category category Say yes when for each file it asks to overwrite. Now when you edit catergory_controller.rb you will see all of the scaffolding code and you can change that redirect to show to go somewhere else.

hi David.. I tried what you suggested, it does redirect me back to the right place, however, now it isn''t updating the category name. Once I click update it just returns me to the cat listing. closer! :) On 1/19/06, David Morton <mortonda at dgrmm.net> wrote:> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > MaxSteel wrote: > > I''ll ask here and then if someone will send me the url of where I go > > to sign up for the rails type questions, that''d be great! > > www.rubyonrails.com -> Community -> Mailing List > > > because I''ve feverishly edited the show.rhtml (for a different > > purpose) I get nasty errors after updating the category name. > > > > What is the easiest way to change that so it redirects back to say > > /category/list ? > > > > i know that: > > def show > > redirect_to :action => ''list'' > > end > > You are redirecting in the wrong place.

That helped immensely Curt! Thanks to David as well! Between the two, I was able to determine that it was the update that was botched, and see the scaffolding code allowed me to see and change the redirect. That''s very HANDY to know!!
